books, motherhood and the journey home
Each year I am saddened by the expectations people have during a holiday that is supposed to be about Jesus’ birth. Last year at Christmas, it hit me the hardest. The materialism around the holiday left me not wanting to celebrate Christmas at all. We did but it was not from a spirit of joy. […]
I just read a beautifully written and illustrated book by Ruth Chou Simons. While my son is not into anything beautiful, he did enjoy the book, especially since there is a child and dog featured in the illustrations. We have been reading more and more from the Bible. Psalms isn’t a book we read from […]
I’ve been out of the journaling practice for awhile. I put aside both writing and journaling for awhile now because of the demanding responsibilities I have as the mother of a neurodivergent boy.

Unfortunately, he’s watched a few things I don’t approve of and I can’t always sit with him to discuss the […]

Being able to read God’s word is a blessing I am learning not to take for granted, especially with so many freedoms being taken slowly and subtly. While I have a Bible I love and cherish, I thought I would accept the complimentary copy of the King James Bible that FrontGate Media offered me. I […]

This year, 2020, has been a year to remember. We will be in 2021 in less than 100 days. Are you ready for a new year? Me – yes and no. I always start my year off with a new planner. This next year I am giving the Spiritual Seeds planner a test drive. It’s […]
